Unable to set /- 10 Volt range on PCIe-6351

I have created some virtual channels in Automation Explorer.  I have an SCXI-1121 module connected to the DAQ card with a SCXI-1001 chassis.  If I configure the gain in AE to 200 which matches what is on the 1121 then the maximum range it will allow me to set in in a task or channel is +/- 25 mV which would correspond to a range of +/- 5 volts on the 6351.  However, the 6351 is capable of +/- 10 Volt measurements.  Is there a way around this problem?

Hi Nova2,

 

While the 6351 does have a ±10V input range, the output of the 1121 is only ±5 V (according to the specifications).  If you were able to set the 6351 to the ±10V range, the end result would be a 1-bit loss in effective resolution when used with the 1121.
